A pensioner, identified as Sunday Oboite, slumped and died, on Tuesday, during screening of pensioners of Oredo Local Government in Edo State.
The pensioner slumped at the reception of the council secretariat after taking Viju milk and water, provided by a good Samaritan when he complained of hunger for several hours.
His death caused pandemonium among the council workers as they crowded the reception to catch a glimpse of his corpse.
The 75 years old Oboite reportedly worked in the works department of the council before he retired. The council had directed that the pensioners come for screening before they would be paid their 10 months pension arrears.
